Feminist Philosophy Reading Group: Feminism and Socialism

27th February 2020

In theme with the ongoing UCU strikes, for the next Feminist Philosophy Reading Group we will be discussing the relationship between feminism and socialism! We will meet in the Conference Room of the Byre Theatre at 1pm on Thursday February 27th. The reading group will run from 1-2.30pm but if you can only make the first half feel free to come along and leave early.
We will be reading Ann Ferguson’s entry on Socialism in the Blackwell Companion to Feminist Philosophy and you can access the paper here(with your uni login): https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/9781405164498.ch52 . It’s a nice short paper (9 pages) which gives an overview of the literature on the relationship between feminism and socialism.
We will upload a précis (a small cheat sheet, with terms and notions to understand the main arguments) to help read the text the week prior to the meeting. The précis will be available on one drive, accessible with your 58³Ô¹Ï ID: https://universityofstandrews907-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/laj7_st-andrews_ac_uk/EgiK4kR-fvxOvrZDkXBhYhwBYtekAjNXaOU8WbZYBHK0ug?e=RWkiZD
